IN THE NEWS PPP for Tuesday, May 13: Michael Sam made history by becoming the first openly gay football player to be drafted to the NFL. Sams was shown on television kissing his boyfriend after receiving news that he had been drafted. The kiss sparked tweets, Miami Dolphins safety Don Jones tweeted omg and horrible in response to Sams celebration. Jones later apologized for his tweets after the team announced that he would be fined and temporarily excused from team activities. Fox & Friends discussed Jones tweet and compared the story to former NFL player Tim Tebow, suggesting Tebow was mocked for being a Christian while Michael Sam is praised. Fox News and many viewers are concerned about the discipline of Jones. Some say the attempts to curb anti-gay comments could lead to a slippery slope of impeding a persons first amendment right to free speech? Powerlisteners: Was the NFL RIGHT or WRONG to discipline Don Jones for his tweets?
